How can I stay actively involved in the learning process of the Fila?
If you have Internet access, you can go to eGroups (at http://www.egroups.com ) and subscribe to the Fila-List. This is a great forum where Fila people discuss concerns that they have with the breed, different lines, and wonderful things that their own Filas have done, amongst other things! This is a great place to start, as there are a lot of friendly people on there that are more than happy to help you in your research. There are also other places that you can go to gather information, such as message boards, and web pages such as this one, that are dedicated to the Fila.
